Cannot Download using FireFox

    Since moving to Wikisend, I cannot download using FireFox. I have to switch over to Internet Explorer. I have tried holding down the CTRL key, ALT key, etc. When I click the download button on Wikisend, I get a stopped message in the bottom left of my screen.

    I had heard rumors about Comcast disabling bit torrent, but I am not having problems when using Internet Explorer, so I do not see how my service or firewall would be affecting one browser and not the other.

    I will disable my DownThemAll addon and try again.

    Hi, RichL, take the mirror link; I never had any download problems there, only one click and all is done.

    hey richl-
    i use firefox and haven't had any problems. just to make sure, i even downloaded today's game, even though i'm not interested in it, and still had no trouble whatsoever. so, maybe you should check into another cause. although if you are having no trouble with explorer you could just keep using that(i, personally, only use explorer if i must).

    :D

    I use Firefox (with Comcast as my ISP) and I automatically use the mirror link. I have never succeeded with the main link so I don't even try!

    It works fine with the mirror so why argue with success?

    i've never used the mirror and never had a problem.
    and until recently was using comcast.

    it all boils down- to use what works for you.
    :D

    richl- have you found a solution?

    Ihis idea just struck- have you checked the MTU and other protocol settings? packet fragmentation, maybe?
